FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux dhcppc0 2.6.16-2-686 #1 Sat Jul 15 21:59:21 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In the Socket.shutdownInput() API doc it reads: "Any data sent to the input stream side of the socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded."
A small test program to verify this behaviour showed that the data was indeed acknowledged but not discarded.
  See also http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=759933

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
compile and run the test case

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect no blocking at the client side and no TCP ZeroWindow packets coming from the Server side.
ACTUAL -
I saw 14 write()/flush() rounds and then write() suddenly blocks. Ethereal then shows TCP ZeroWindow packets coming from the Server side.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
